Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 cup glutinous rice flour with 0.5 cup water until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
Step 2
Divide dough in half. Knead 1 tsp pandan extract into one half until evenly green. Roll both halves into small balls, about 1 inch each.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Drop in the dumplings and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 4
In a saucepan, heat 1 can coconut milk and 3 tbsp sugar over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves and sauce is warm, about 3-4 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 5
Divide dumplings among bowls, pour warm coconut sauce over, and top with 0.25 cup toasted coconut flakes and edible flowers if desired.
